Joel Comm will be live on the Houston Radio Wednesday. Joel is the author of the New York Times Best Seller “The Adsense Code“. We have a local Tech guy with a 1 hour morning radio show 5 days a week here in Houston. He’s scored a interview with Joel Comm. The interview will be sometime between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. Central time on 950 KPRC. I’m sure it will only be 1 segment, not the whole hour.

The Host’s name is Michael Garfield, better know around these parts as the High-Tech Texan. Michael also has video conferencing enabled while doing his morning show for those of you who like doing such things.

The easiest way to incorporate Adsense into your site is an Adsense Ready Wordpress Theme. I use a variety of Wordpress Themes for Adsense. The one I choose depends on the type of blog I running. I’ve compiled this Ultimate List of Adsense Ready Wordpress Themes for your enjoyment.  I have to be honest and say the idea for this list came about when I saw Dosh Dosh’s list of 17 Adsense Ready Wordpress Themes and realized I had those plus a few more in my folders and bookmarks.
